Recently, the head of public relations from the Baby Einstein Company (owned by Disney) asked if I would take a call from Susan McLain, the General Manager of the Baby Einstein Division. They wanted to find out what I thought about what they called kids and screen time, given the famous rebate issue. The line from the email was: “Given the fact that I’m a children’s technology reviewer and an advocate for screens, was I a friend or a foe to the Baby Einstein concept?”
That’s what led to this post. I certainly don’t like being characterized as an advocate of anything other than developmentally appropriate experiences for children, be they on a screen or off. Regarding Baby Einstein, was I a friend or a foe?
